Zhu Zhus ready for gifting |
I know you are thinking that I was one short. I was but I had hosted a Zhu Zhu pet party for MomSelect earlier in the year and happened to have an extra! I filled the back of the car with boxes of Zhu Zhus and visited the school for my first delivery!
The Zhu Zhu tower contained Zhus for 105 four to twelve year olds! |
Next I reached out to my friends at LeapFrog about donating 10 items for the 3 year olds on my list. Making fabulous educational toys for kids of all ages, I thought the 3 year olds on my list would benefit from products promoting early literacy. I worked with LeapFrog last year for large donation that benefitted children at a local women’s shelter and a generous donation of toys for families at our school.
Once again, they did not disappoint and sent boxes containing My Own Leaptops, Fridge Phonics, and the Fridge Words Magnetic Word Builder.
LeapFrog items are going to ten 3 year olds |
While at Type A Mom, I had the opportunity to meet Dina from Big Honcho Media in person. We’d corresponded about the Spaceheadz book tour via email prior to the conference but when we met, we immediately clicked! I mentioned my holiday giving campaign and while it was only September and I had no idea what the school’s needs would be, she said she’d love to help.
Fast forward to the present and without hesitation, Dina hooked me up with a giant box of books from Scholastic’s Little Scholastic line (which are household favorites!) and introduced me to Sandra Magsamen’s Snuggle Me Stories and Peek-A-Boo books, all perfect for the youngest children on the list!

Wow. Nice job. Think of all the families you helped. Think of all the kids who will be happy tomorrow because of you, your school community, and the wonderful companies who donated. I’m so happy to read this and so happy to hear of your wonderful work. Merry Christmas, friend. It is an honor to call you my friend.
